1974 AMC Matador review from North America
"The perfect American luxo-cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The universal joints on the drive-shaft needed to be replaced.
General comments?
About those universal joints -- who cares?! The car was over 20 years old.
I felt like a high roller in this 2-door coupe / chick magnet.
Very comfortable and stylish.
The AMC 360 is very powerful.
Truly a quality automobile.
